|discussion=<p>Variety depressum occurs mostly at higher elevations in widely scattered mountain ranges in southwestern Alberta and in Idaho, western Montana, eastern Oregon, and Wyoming. In <i>Nevada</i> the plants are isolated in the Independence Mountains in Elko County (Maguire & Holmgren 22456, NY, UTC). The variety is rather easy to distinguish from the related <i></i>var.<i> nivale</i> except in the Steens Mountains of southeastern Oregon. Plants from that area are here assigned to <i></i>var.<i> depressum</i> but with some caution. At Crater-of-the-Moon National Monument in Idaho, <i></i>var.<i> depressum</i> is a local dominant, the densely white-tomentose plants distinctively spotting the black lava cinder cones and flats. Only there is the variety encountered at relatively low elevations. The dwarf cushion wild buckwheat is a highly attractive expression of the species and is frequently seen in cultivation.</p>
